Asturias

BEDFORD ROAD: There isn't too much to right about the Asturias at the top of Spain. More or less halfway a long, they sit a little closer to La Coruna than San Sebastian, the region is filled with dramatic cliffs and small beaches tucked into the palms of these enormous hands.

With no small amount of luck we managed to find a cabin at a quiet camp site and proceeded to spend the next three nights having BBQs, eating outdoors, drinking Sangria (laced with vodka) and playing endless games of 500. During the day we visited some of the beaches in the area. While they definitely weren't the best beaches I've ever seen they were quite beautiful, crowded (but this is Europe) with stunning water. The best thing was just the chance to be back swimming again. With some difficulty we managed to prise ourselves away after three days to trek across the country to the Guggenheim Bilbao.

[Note: More photos will come, but the last couple of nights Blogger software has been ill behaved. Look at this way, it's like a journey back in time to the World Wide Web of 1996.
